Emperor Rongcheng roared in anger.
"You have a daughter now, and we have our own child, so why are you still thinking about that other child?"
Jiang Xianhao was filled with rage.
What nonsense are you spouting?
"Tsurukawa is our child too, he's our first child!"
“Chen Wanshan, when you held Rongyang and showered him with affection, did you ever think that Hechuan also needed a father’s love?”
Emperor Rongcheng did indeed let out a cold snort.
"Oh!"
"like?"
What kind of love?
Emperor Rongcheng was furious. He suddenly stepped forward and stared intently into Jiang Xianhao's eyes.
"You love him that much?"
"Do you love him, or someone who resembles him?"
Emperor Rongcheng thought of the appearance of Shen Hechuan that he had seen in the dark.
He's only three years old.
Yet he already showed signs of becoming a genius.
Whether it's his photographic memory, his upright posture, or his eyes, he is just like the former crown prince who was once praised.
Li Wenci.
He couldn't understand it.
He clearly loved her so much, so why couldn't she forget him?
Just thinking about how she looked at Li Wenci through Shen Hechuan filled him with rage, and he wished he could strangle Shen Hechuan to death.
The pent-up anger of the past few days caused Emperor Rongcheng to erupt in an instant.
This also allowed them to vent their pent-up frustrations from the past few years.
Jiang Xianhao suddenly stopped and looked at Emperor Rongcheng in disbelief.
"Shen Wanshan, what do you mean by that?"
He looked into Shen Wanshan's eyes, a surge of anger rising within him. Without thinking twice, he immediately stepped forward, grabbed Shen Wanshan's collar, and questioned him word by word.
“Shen Wanshan, tell me the truth.”
"All these years, you've prevented me from seeing Shen Hechuan, and you've treated him coldly. Is it because you don't think he's your child?"
Emperor Rongcheng looked at Jiang Xianhao's angry eyes and suddenly dared not look directly at him.
He tried to turn his head away, but Jiang Xianhao forced him to turn back.
"Look me in the eyes and tell me, is this what you really think?"
Emperor Rongcheng closed his eyes, sighed, and spoke.
"yes."
Emperor Rongcheng's firm words made Jiang Xianhao suddenly sneer, and then she slowly released her grip.
She recalled everything that had happened over the years, the deep affection Emperor Rongcheng had shown her, and all the sweet moments they had shared.
He recalled the tender moments they had shared on those nights, and finally gave a self-deprecating laugh.
"you……"
She opened her mouth, wanting to ask him, but found herself at a loss for words.
But Emperor Rongcheng spoke up at this moment.
His voice was low, and his face was full of pain, as if he were recalling those painful days.
"That day, I went to find you carrying a hundred earthworms, but instead, I saw Li Wenci coming out of your room."
Emperor Rongcheng's voice trembled slightly.
Seeing Jiang Xianhao's pale face, he couldn't help but step forward to support her, but she stopped him with her hand.
"Don't touch me."
Jiang Xianhao suddenly raised his voice.
"You suspect me just because of this?"
Jiang Xianhao found it all laughable.
"If that's the case, why don't you ask me?"
“If you had asked me then, I would have told you that I wasn’t in my room that day, and the person in that room wasn’t me, but…”
"There was no blood on our wedding veil on our wedding day..."
Emperor Rongcheng interrupted Jiang Xianhao and condemned him with a single sentence.
Jiang Xianhao remained silent for a moment, looking at Emperor Rongcheng in disbelief, before finally giving a disheartened smile.
"So, that's why you don't believe me?"
"I said, nothing happened between me and Li Wenci, and I don't like him. Don't you believe me?"
Jiang Xianhao stared intently at Emperor Rongcheng.
However, Emperor Rongcheng remained silent for a long time.
He saw Jiang Xianhao's eyes redden instantly, saw her trying hard to hold back her tears, and saw her hands clenched tightly, her nails scratching her skin.
He felt a sharp pain in his heart, and even breathing became difficult.
He simply couldn't bear to see Jiang Xianhao so heartbroken.
So he immediately said, "Okay, it's alright, I don't care."
"The only person I care about is you."
"But I care!!"
Jiang Xianhao screamed in despair.
"I care!"
"I didn't do that, and I don't like him. I clearly like you, so why don't you believe me? Why are you accusing me?"
"Is that what you think of me?"
Jiang Xianhao was on the verge of a breakdown, and tears streamed down her face instantly.
Her whole body began to tremble; she wanted to tell Emperor Rongcheng every detail of that day.
However, because so much time had passed, she couldn't quite remember.
Therefore, her words were somewhat incoherent, sounding as if she was trying to excuse herself.
Seeing Jiang Xianhao like this, Emperor Rongcheng couldn't help but step forward and hug her, carefully comforting her.
"It's okay, Ah Hao, it's okay, I don't care, I really don't care, otherwise I wouldn't have married you."
Hearing this, Jiang Xianhao became increasingly distraught, and finally, everything went black, and she fainted.
Emperor Rongcheng was surprised by Jiang Xianhao's strong reaction. He immediately ordered the imperial physician to be summoned, personally fed her the medicine, and left only after confirming that she was alright.
It was late at night when he arrived at a secluded palace. Suddenly, a young girl slid down from a tree.
This person was none other than Consort Hui in her youth.
Emperor Rongcheng first met her under this tree.
The girl was stuck in the tree and couldn't get down. When she saw Emperor Rongcheng coming, she called out to him loudly.
In his view, the woman was unaware of his identity.
As he looked up, he vaguely saw Jiang Xianhao from back then.
She climbed up this tree and couldn't get down, so Emperor Rongcheng climbed up the tree himself and carried her down.
Now, Emperor Rongcheng was momentarily dazed when he saw this woman, which is why he didn't kill her.
However, he did not stop, but walked straight over, leaving only the woman's continuous shouts.
The next day, feeling agitated, he was summoned by spirits to the tree again, and unsurprisingly, he saw the woman once more.
Later, the two became acquainted.
Emperor Rongcheng didn't know why, but every time he thought about killing this scheming woman, he could always see the shadow of Jiang Xianhao in her.
In this way, the two became more and more familiar with each other, and Emperor Rongcheng also said, almost as if by magic, that he was a guard who had fallen in love with a palace maid, and told her about his relationship with Jiang Xianhao.
The woman advised him to be honest and repeatedly emphasized that he must tell her, saying she didn't care.
Emperor Rongcheng was somewhat puzzled at the time, but Consort Hui kept it a secret.
"I'm sure she won't admit it, and she'll even come up with all sorts of excuses. Only if you say you don't care will she feel at ease."
